A gun has a muzzle speed of 80 meters per second. What angle of elevation should be used to hit an object 180 meters away? Negle

ct air resistance and use g=9.8m/sec2 as the acceleration of gravity.
The answer must be in radians.

I found: angle=1/2arcsin (180*9.8)/(80^2), but it was not correct.

Hi. Your working equation is correct. The general equation to be used is 

Range = sin(2 \alpha )( \frac{ v^{2} }{g} )

However, make sure that when you input this in the calculator, it is in the mode of rad. 

The answer is 0.14 rad.

Knowing the initial velocity and angle, the horizontal range formula is given by   R= V^2sin(2teta) / g, so we can get 
sin(2teta)=Rg/V^2
sin(2teta)= (180 x 9.8)/ 80^2= 0.27, sin(2teta)=0.27, 2teta=arcsin(0.27)=15.66, so teta=15.66/2

teta=7.83°

What happens to air pressure as altitude decreases
Ksivusya [100]
Pressure decreases with increasing altitude. The pressure at any level in the atmosphere may be interpreted as the total weight of the air above a unit area at any elevation. At higher elevations, there are fewer air molecules above a given surface than a similar surface at lower levels.

This illustration shows two opposing forces pulling on a wagon. Which description best describes how the wagon will move?
Talja [164]

Answer:

The wagon will move to the right.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Force applied to the left (Fₗ) = 10 N

Force applied to the right (Fᵣ) = 30 N

Direction of the wagon =.?

To determine the direction in which the wagon will move, we shall determine the net force acting on the wagon. This can be obtained as follow:

Force applied to the left (Fₗ) = 10 N

Force applied to the right (Fᵣ) = 30 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = Fᵣ – Fₗ

Fₙ = 30 – 10

Fₙ = 20 N to the right

From the calculations made above, the net force acting on the wagon is 20 N to the right. Hence the wagon will move to the right.
